2016 VW Volkswagen and Skoda Key FOB COMPLETE teardown and battery replacement

I couldn't find anyone who had done a full teardown of this key FOB so I made this video. If you intend to open your key, TAKE YOUR TIME...be careful and it'll all work out.

    Let's eee, the dealership wanted $350, the fob case on ebay cost $15 with shipping, so that's $335 you just saved me. Thank you!!!

    I know this is an old video but I want to add that the torx bit is a T300 for anyone with a precision driver set. I had an issue with a rapidly dying battery so I disassembled to right before breaking the seal, and hosed the inside with contact cleaner and shook it really hard a few times. This completely resolved the battery dying issue.

    Thanks Dean, I needed to replace Fob due to the key blade broke before the pin. Video was great I transferred circuit board and original key blade to a $15 internet Fob and saved me from the dreaded dealers estimate of $450.

    Thanks Dan, I managed to fully disassembly my key and reassembly it after fix without breaking it thanks to your very clear instructions! There was probably a bad contact with the battery. You made my day anyway 😉

    Only thing to add is when you reassemble, you need to align the front cover to the spring holding the cover upside down. This ensures the bit of the spring sticking out slots into the front cover properly. Then rotate the front cover anti-clockwise so it is then aligned with the back of the key. This will ensure the spring has tension and the key flicks out properly in the right direction.

    Thanks man, trying to open my 2019 key for a couple hours...but dang i'm tearing up the plastic. I saw another video which made it look so easy, but now that you mentioned its epoxied I realize how hard this is going to be.
